Telepilot control part 170 receives users' indication by telepilot 172, and should indicate to CPU160 by bus 102 and to transmit.In the present embodiment, the indication that projector 100 receives from the user by telepilot 172 and telepilot control part 170 still, also can receive user's indication by other structures such as for example guidance panels.
CPU160 is by reading and carry out the computer program as image processing part 122 in the storer 120 internally, project image onto on the screen 200, carry out the described zoom in back and adjust Flame Image Process such as keystone distortion correcting process.In addition, the action of the each several part in the CPU160 control projector 100.
A-2. zoom is adjusted the keystone distortion correcting process
Projector 100 can automatically carry out the zoom adjustment keystone distortion correcting process that zoom is adjusted the keystone distortion correcting process. thereby the zoom adjustment is to carry out the processing that the adjustment of zoom state makes the image of institute's projection not exceed screen 200 and show greatly as far as possible.In addition, the keystone distortion correction is the processing of revising the keystone distortion of the display image on the screen 200.Zoom is adjusted the keystone distortion correcting process according to carrying out from user's the indication of passing through telepilot 172.Zoom is adjusted the keystone distortion correcting process and also can be followed the input of for example power turn-on and picture signal and automatically carry out.
Fig. 3 is the process flow diagram that the expression zoom is adjusted the flow process of keystone distortion correcting process. at step S402, the full view field of image processing part 122 (Fig. 1) projection detects and uses figure.Full view field just is meant that projection has the zone on the wall of behind on the screen 200 of all regional corresponding image light among the image forming area IF (Fig. 2) with liquid crystal panel 130 or screen 200.In addition, all regional corresponding image light among the image forming area IF of so-called and liquid crystal panel 130 just are meant the image light of the effective panel image of formation time institute projection in all zones in the image forming area IF of liquid crystal panel 130.
Fig. 4 is the key diagram that an example of the projection state when using graphic projection detects in the full view field of expression.The state of Fig. 4 (a) expression liquid crystal panel 130.In the present embodiment, detect as full view field and use figure, use hololeucocratic figure, form the panel image (effective panel image) of figure of the white in all zones among the image forming area IF that spreads all over liquid crystal panel 130.With formed effective panel graphical representation among the image forming area IF is effective panel image PI.In addition, the thick line shown in Fig. 4 (a) is to illustrate simply for the border (periphery) of the image of representing hololeucocratic figure, is not the part of effective panel image PI of reality.
The state of Fig. 4 (b) expression screen 200.In the example of Fig. 4, hololeucocratic figure is projected on the screen 200 with thick frame area surrounded.This zone is that projection has the zone on the screen 200 of all regional corresponding image light among the image forming area IF with liquid crystal panel 130, so this zone is full view field (below, be called the full PA of view field).On screen 200, show hololeucocratic image in the full PA of view field, projected image light not in the zone except the full PA of view field.The thick line of Fig. 4 (b) is not the image of actual projection, is to illustrate simply for the periphery of representing the full PA of view field, this periphery is called " the full frame PF of view field ".In addition, in the present embodiment, screen 200 has the screen frame 202 of black along periphery.For difference screen frame 202 and the frame PF of view field easily entirely, in Fig. 4~Fig. 7, dot screen frame 202 (with the described screen frame 202i in back).
In the example of Fig. 4, the size of the complete relative screen 200 of the PA of view field becomes too small zoom state.In addition, from the full frame PF of view field distortion in echelon the situation of shape keystone distortion has taken place as can be known.
Full view field detects picture signal with figure and is stored in the interior predetermined zone of internal storage 120.In addition, it can be figure arbitrarily that full view field detects with figure, as long as can detect the full PA of view field.
In step S404 (Fig. 3), shoot part 180 (Fig. 1) is taken full PA of view field and screen 200, generates the photographs SI that projection has full PA of view field and screen 200.Shoot part 180 has the CCD camera, generates photographs SI. and is stored in the photographs storer 182 (Fig. 1) through internal storage 120 (Fig. 1) by the photographs SI that shoot part 180 is generated.Certainly, also can not use the CCD camera and use other to take device.
The state of Fig. 4 (c) expression photographs SI. have as the full frame PF of view field of the periphery of the full PA of view field and the screen frame 202 of screen 200 in photographs SI photographs.In the following description, respectively the full view field frame table on the image is shown PFi, the screen frame on the image is expressed as 202i.On photographs SI, the full frame PFi of view field is essentially rectangle.On the other hand, screen frame 202i distortion shape in echelon.This is because the optical axis of the lens of the CCD camera of shoot part 180 is set to and the substantially parallel cause of the optical axis of projection optical system 150.But in the example of Fig. 4, the optical axis of the lens of CCD camera and the optical axis of projection optical system 150 are not strictly to be set at parallelly, and the full frame PFi of view field is distortion shape in echelon slightly.
Fig. 4 (a)~Fig. 4 (c) represents respectively coordinate system that liquid crystal panel 130, screen 200, shoot part 180 are set to be called liquid crystal panel coordinate system Cp, screen coordinate system Cs, shoot part coordinate system Cc.Liquid crystal panel coordinate system Cp is the coordinate system on the plane parallel with the panel face of the image forming area IF with liquid crystal panel 130.Screen coordinate system Cs is the coordinate system on the plane parallel with screen 200.Shoot part coordinate system Cc is the coordinate system on the plane vertical with the optical axis of the lens of the CCD camera of shoot part 180.
In step S406 (Fig. 3), the view data of the photographs SI that is stored in image range test section 123 (Fig. 1) the analytical photography video memory 182 detects full frame PFi of view field and screen frame 202i.The detection of full frame PFi of view field and screen frame 202i is carried out than big pixel than extracting contrast by the contrast of measuring photographs SI.
Particularly, from the pixel that constitutes photographs SI, detect full frame PFi of view field and screen frame 202i, as the locations of pixels (coordinate figure) among the shoot part coordinate system Cc.In the present embodiment, demand perfection respectively each the coordinate figure on 4 summits of frame PFi of view field and screen frame 202i.That is, obtain the coordinate figure of the summit a1~a4 shown in Fig. 4 (c) and summit b1~b4.
In step S408 (Fig. 3), transformation of criterion portion 127 (Fig. 1) carries out the projective transformation of full frame PFi of view field and screen frame 202i.Fig. 5 is a key diagram of representing the projective transformation of full frame PFi of view field and screen frame 202i conceptually. Fig. 5 (a) expression photographs SI, the image (image SIt after the conversion) after Fig. 5 (b) expression projective transformation.Here said projective transformation is transformed to the coordinate figure on the coordinate system that becomes benchmark with regard to being meant the coordinate figure that will represent full frame PFi of view field and screen frame 202i among the shoot part coordinate system Cc.This projective transformation was carried out for the optical axis of the lens of the CCD camera that compensates shoot part 180 and the departing from of optical axis of projection optical system 150. in the present embodiment,, use liquid crystal panel coordinate system Cp as the coordinate system that becomes benchmark.
Projective transformation is expressed as φ, and (x, (u, in the time of v), (u v) can be expressed as following formula to the coordinate figure after the projective transformation y) to be transformed to coordinate figure with coordinate figure to utilize this projective transformation φ.
u=(ax+by+c)/(gx+hy+1)
v=(dx+ey+f)/(gx+hy+1)
(wherein, a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h are constants)
In projective transformation, at first, ask the projective transformation φ that the coordinate figure of 4 the summit a1~a4 of the full frame PFi of view field in shoot part coordinate system Cc on the photographs SI is transformed to the coordinate figure of liquid crystal panel coordinate system Cp.Such projective transformation φ determines onlyly.Here, in the present embodiment, shown in Fig. 5 (b), the coordinate figure of 4 the summit at1~at4 of the full frame PFiT of view field among the liquid crystal panel coordinate system Cp after the projective transformation is set at at1 (0,0), at2 (1023,0), at3 (0 respectively, 767), at4 (1023,767).This be for by make its corresponding with the resolution of employed liquid crystal panel 130 in the present embodiment make calculate simple.Not necessarily must make the coordinate figure on 4 summits of the full frame PFiT of view field after the projective transformation corresponding with the resolution of liquid crystal panel 130.
Secondly, use the projective transformation φ that obtains, the coordinate figure of 4 the summit b1~b4 of the screen frame 202i in shoot part coordinate system Cc on the photographs SI is transformed to the coordinate figure of liquid crystal panel coordinate system Cp, obtain the screen frame 202iT after the projective transformation.Shown in Fig. 5 (b), be bt1~bt4 with 4 vertex representations of the screen frame 202iT after the projective transformation.Like this, in liquid crystal panel coordinate system Cp, can calculate the relativeness of full frame PFiT of view field and screen frame 202iT.
In the explanation afterwards, the full frame PFiT of view field after the projective transformation is called the full frame PFiT of view field simply, the screen frame 202iT after the projective transformation is called screen frame 202iT simply.In addition, the calculating of coordinate figure is only used in the processing that step S408 is later, there is no need to generate the image after the real transform.Therefore, the line on the border of the image of expression reality does not show on the later drawing of Fig. 5 (b).
In step S410 (Fig. 3), best zoom state calculating part 124 (Fig. 1) calculating optimum zoom state.Here, so-called best zoom state just is meant that the resolution that is suppressed at formed effective panel image PI on the panel face of liquid crystal panel 130 on the limit reduces the limit when carrying out the keystone distortion correction, as wide as possible the zoom state of display image on screen 200.Below, best zoom state is described.
Fig. 6 is the key diagram of an example of the projection state after the expression zoom adjustment keystone distortion correcting process.That is, make its state that becomes as shown in Figure 6 carry out zoom adjustment keystone distortion correcting process like that.Fig. 6 (a)~(c) is corresponding with Fig. 4 (a)~(c).That is, the state of Fig. 6 (a) expression liquid crystal panel 130, the state of Fig. 6 (b) expression screen 200.In addition, Fig. 6 (c) as a reference, the state of the photographs SI when expression has been taken projection state after zoom is adjusted the keystone distortion correcting process by shoot part 180.
Shown in Fig. 6 (b), best zoom state is that periphery that the full PA of view field comprises screen 200 and the full PA of view field contacts the zoom state of (tangent) with the periphery (screen frame 202) of screen 200.Its reason is described as follows.
Shown in Fig. 6 (b), the keystone distortion correction of present embodiment is to carry out the correction of image so that image only projects to and is received into zone on the screen 200 (below, be called and revise the back RA of view field) in the full PA of view field.Therefore, shown in Fig. 6 (a), only form effective panel image PI in the zone corresponding (that is, revising back image forming area RIF) in the image forming area IF on the panel face of liquid crystal panel 130 with revising the back RA of view field.The zone of image forming area RIF after except the correction among the image forming area IF makes from not transmission of the illumination light ground that lamp optical system 140 is sent and forms all black picture.
Revising the back RA of view field is the part zone of the full PA of view field, so when the full PA of view field did not comprise the state of screen 200, promptly there was the zone that does not have projected image light in zoom state than the state of Fig. 6 (b) hour on the screen 200.Therefore, the image on the screen 200 will reduce.Therefore, when the full PA of view field does not comprise the state of screen 200, the best zoom state of just can not saying so.
In addition, for the resolution that suppresses effective panel image PI reduces, preferably increase as far as possible and revise back image forming area RIF.Comprise under the condition of screen 200 at the full PA of view field, when the periphery of the full PA of view field contacts the state of (tangent) with screen frame 202, revise the back RA of view field shared ratio maximum in the full PA of view field.Therefore, at this moment, revising back image forming area RIF becomes maximum, thereby the zoom state of this moment is best zoom state.
Fig. 7 is a key diagram of representing the calculating of best zoom state conceptually. the calculating of best zoom state, and according to said method, use full frame PFiT of view field and screen frame 202iT among the liquid crystal panel coordinate system Cp that in step S408 (Fig. 3), calculates to carry out.Particularly,, ask the full frame PFiZb of view field after the best zoom adjustment by being that the center is amplified the full frame PFiT of view field or dwindled with predetermined zoom center ZC, the multiplying power of calculating its amplification or dwindling (below, be called best multiplying power Mb) and carry out.Here, the full frame PFiZb of view field after the so-called best zoom adjustment, exactly with zoom center ZC to be the center with the full frame PFiT of view field amplify or dwindle after the zoom adjustment after the full frame PFiZ of view field, comprise screen frame 202iT, and contact with screen frame 202iT.The full frame PFiZb of view field can be by asking the full frame PfiZ of view field after the zoom adjustment that contacts respectively with 4 summits of screen frame 202iT after the best zoom adjustment, and select the zoom state in it to obtain at the state of wide-angle side.
The full frame PFiT of view field and screen frame 202iT and zoom center ZC among Fig. 7 (a) expression liquid crystal panel coordinate system Cp.Zoom center ZC is by the liquid crystal panel 130 relation decision with the zoom lens 152 of projection optical system 150, and is not necessarily consistent with the center of the image forming area IF of liquid crystal panel 130.The position of zoom center ZC is stored presumptive area in the internal storage 120 in advance as the coordinate figure among the liquid crystal panel coordinate system Cp.Best zoom state calculating part 124 reads the coordinate figure of the zoom center ZC of internal storage 120 stored.The coordinate figure of this zoom center ZC in liquid crystal panel coordinate system Cp also can be set by each goods is measured.Like this, the individual difference of each goods can be revised, thereby correct processing can be carried out.
Fig. 7 (b)~(e) expression is the situation that the full frame PFiT of view field is amplified at the center with zoom center ZC.The full frame PFiZ of view field after 4 zoom adjustment that Fig. 7 (b)~(e) represents to contact respectively with 4 summit bt1~bt4 of screen frame 202iT with dot-and-dash line.After the zoom adjustment that the summit bt3 with shown in Fig. 7 (e) after 4 zoom adjustment in the full frame PFiZ of view field contact full the zoom state of the frame PfiZ of view field in wide-angle side.Therefore, this just becomes the full frame PFiZb of view field after the best zoom adjustment.The full frame PFiZ of view field does not comprise screen frame 202iT after other zoom adjustment shown in Fig. 7 (b)~(d).Under such zoom state, owing to have the zone of projected image light not (among the figure with the regional suitable zone of drawing oblique line) on the screen 200, so, not the zoom state of the best.
